Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy pot leg from a cooking vessel. The leg is D-shaped in cross-section with a flat front and convex back and a central raised rib running down the front. It has an old irregular break at the upper end. The leg flares forwards at the base to create the plain D-shaped foot. . The surfaces are sooted from use in a hearth.Date: Medieval to Post Medieval - c.1200-1650 AD.Dimensions: 59.68 mm x 56.22 mm x 45.55 mmWeight:Crudely made cast copper-alloy vessels such as cauldrons and skillets were widely used from c.1200-1700 for serving and cooking. Butler et al. (2009:4) suggest there were four main types of leg used. This is an example of type A which they suggest was widespread in the medieval period with some examples continuing into the early 17th century.
